I would think that the location, the room where the reloading is done would qualify as part of loading equipment.
Any way I moved into a new, new to me, house this past August. There was no space in the house to put a loading room, so I bought a 12 by 16 prefab garden/workshop and had it installed in my back yard. This building was built by the Mennonites. They really put together a quality building for the money.
This fall and winter will be spent getting it ready. The building came with a 1/2 plywood floor, but wanting to strengthen the floor as well moisture proof it, I put down 6 mil plastic, then put 5/8th exterior plywood over that. When I'm finished with the interior but before I put up work benches etc. I'm going to pour a bucket or two of polyuerathane over the plywood to seal any cracks and give a smoother impermiable surface.
Last weekend was spent doing the wiring and preparing for the installation of a breaker box for the shed. Plenty of recepticals, four banks of two tube flourescent lites and one ten foot track lite with 8 lites to shine on each machine.
Then I stuffed insulation into every crack and space where air could get in. I stapled more of the 6 mil to the studs and roof joists to create a 3.5 inch dead air space.
I'm using that cheap melamine panaling, white, to cover the walls and ceiling. My thinking is that this stuff is cheap, easy to clean, dust should not cling to it, will reflect light all over the place and will seal the walls and ceiling well.
After I got the plastic up on the walls and ceiling I turned on a kerosene heater to see how fast it got warm. It 10 - 15 minutes I was hot.
My original idea was to put in a wood stove, but I don't see the need. There kerosene heater will produce more heat then I need.
This being Virginia, next spring I'll do some checking to see if I can install an A/C unit out there to keep down the heat, of course, and the humidity.
My plans are to build the work bench tops out of 3/4 in plywood and polyurathane them in some color, maybe primary red, just to be in keeping with this being my play room. The shelves under the work top will be some light color, again primary yellow, maybe. I've got a poly primary blue table that I use for working on rifles. I'll have my very own Romper Room.
Any suggestions or improvements would be greatly appreciated.
